Now you expect him to base his itinerary on countries that rhyme?

Are you off your meds or drunk?

You weren’t even in Saudi Arabia. Why do you even care?

It’s not false information.

Actually, by visiting Jerusalem alone, he visited a holy site for all three religions.

But let’s have Presidents visit in alphabetical order. I guess the people of Albania will be suitably impressed.

If you weren’t such an idiot, you could figure out there’s an extra word.  
Claiming he visited the headquarters of three religions is false information.  
The Vatican can be considered the HQ of the Roman Catholic Church but Islam nor Judaism have a similar site nor do they have the strict hierarchical structure. You claimed that Trump visited the “HQs” of three major religions.  
That’s false information. Lying, if you prefer.  
So who cares if he visits a holy site? How is that significant?

What does visiting a holy site have to do with Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia? Both Mecca and Medina are closed to non-Muslims, anyhow.

You’re right. Every Canadian I have spoken with is very, very happy that Trump has not visited Canada. In fact, there is a great hope that he will never, ever visit.

You worship at the altar of The Exact Word and Meaning. You implied something that was not true. That’s a lie under _your_ rules.

No, lying requires intent to deceive.

I enjoyed that too. The way his squirmy tiny little tentacle failed him, and yet he could not escape until Macron chose to let him go.

Well, come on. It couldn’t say what it originally said and still apply to _him_.

You do know that having a different opinion than you, or the Board in general, is not the same as trolling, right?

Or are you as stupid as running coach?

So you admit giving us false information, although without intent to deceive.  
Would you then, for the benefit of those who might not have paid attention, point out what that false information was, and what the actual truth is. Because that would be the right thing to do, you know.

Thank you for fighting ignorance since … well, soon, I hope.
